Visual Distortion Detection in UGC Images Using Large Multimodal Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.09122v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The localized depiction of perceptual quality has long been a crucial, yet underexplored, challenge in image quality assessment (IQA). Existing approaches based on large multimodal models (LMMs) predominantly rely on text-driven supervised fine-tuning (SFT). However, this training paradigm exhibits notable limitations in detection accuracy. Moreover, synthetically distorted images, which are often used as the primary training data source, show a significant generalization gap when deployed in real-world scenarios; thus, the \textbf{synthetic-to
